When Malcolm Turnbull was asked to name his favourite AC/DC song following the death of Malcolm Young, he struggled to think of a single track. 

The awkward conversation happened on radio station Triple M Brisbane, as the prime minister spoke with hosts Marto, Ed and Robin.

“Ah…well, tell me, what’s your favourite?” he responded when asked what his preference was. 

“Run through a few more.”

As the hosts rattled off iconic tunes Long Way to the Top, Back in Black and Highway to Hell, Turnbull instead told the show his favourite song “from that era” was Mental as Anything’s ‘If you leave me’.

"I'm very romantic and that's the old romantic in me," he said of the hit. 

The prime minister’s blunder did not go unnoticed by social media users.
